No. It just quickly eliminate 99% of "newcomers" that would not go up 
ever anyway.

As you already stated - it may be me or you - the view would be the same: 
other are upside down.

This is contrary to modern linux distros that you may 
install not knowing anything, run not knowing anything and then still not 
known anything, being a newbie forever.


Anyway thank you for an answer - i now have definite knowledge what will 
FreeBSD future look like because this is what i wanted.
